Over the weekend I was in another top 10 suburb, the posh Armadale. Boasting incredible and easy access to the CBD, shopping strip, cafes and restaurants it also has very expensive homes and units alike.

Number 12 Denbigh Road was one of those homes which oozed character and style and of course expensive taste. The architectural renovations done on this Victorian beauty were of the highest standard. The bedrooms large, plush carpets throughout and family living area oozing style and class would make even me feel at home.

In terms of locations, Denbigh is not one of the better ones in the area. Quoted at mid to high $3million it was always going to be a battle to achieve a result, despite the 50 strong crowd of onlookers.

The auctioneer doing his best to sell the location and the home the property struggled to attract a bid after an initial vendor bid of $3.7million. After the obligatory chat with the vendors to give them the bad news the agent managed to extract a genuine bid from one interested buyer at $3.775mil and that’s where it finished. No sold sticker and no sale. But all was not done. Sunday morning’s review of the weekend’s results showed the property had in fact sold for an undisclosed sum, there you go!

Outstanding ResultAlthough I had bought and sold properties previously, it was evident from the initial meeting with Peter Sarmas, that his service would enhance my prospect of a profitable sale. Peter’s in-depth knowledge of the property market, strategic thinking and problem solving enabled me to make informed decisions at each stage of the selling process. I encourage you to speak with Peter to learn how his service is available at no additional cost to the seller.Peter’s knowledge, communication skills and genuine commitment to his clients resulted in a smooth selling process and excellent sale price for the property. I will utilise Peter’s services in future property transactions.

We recently engaged Peter Sarmas from Street Advocate to help us sell our rental property in Melbourne. Peter interviewed three agents, and helped us select one. Peter strongly recommended doing some basic renovations to the property, even though some of the agents were doubtful. Peter then did an amazing job in organising trades to renovate the old weatherboard home in just 10 days, including repainting the inside of the house, landscaping the neglected garden, putting up a rear fence, and staging the property with a furniture stylist. The house and garden were transformed. We went to auction in just four weeks, and it sold for well above our reserve price. We were blown away. The renovation was worth every penny, and we really appreciate Peter’s sound advice. We live in Wodonga, and Peter handled everything for us in Melbourne. I was very surprised at how stress free the whole process was. Peter’s services did not cost us any extra, as his fees are part of the negotiated fees paid to the agent. We highly recommend the services of Peter Sarmas at Street Advocate, for anyone who is thinking of selling their property.

Peter Sarmas – A Trusted AdvisorI engaged Peter Sarmas to assist me in the sale of three properties for a deceased estate.Peter advised me how to improve and present each property to maximise the sale price. He put me in touch with a company who could assist me in clearing personal possessions and furniture from one of the properties.Peter interviewed three Agents for each property and guided me in the selection process. He also provided strategic advice on sale price, timing and selling options for each property.As well as arranging the auctioneer, he obtained quotes for painting, carpet, blinds and styling for my consideration. He then organised those trades to attend each property.Peter takes away the stress involved in selling a property. He was my “go to” contact for the sale process, relieving me from the responsibility of dealing with three Agents and many trades. Three very successful property sales are a testament to his professionalism and dedication to the job at hand.I highly recommend Peter Sarmas, Street Advocate, to liaise and manage the sale process from start to finish.

Peter came highly recommended to us by friends who had benefited from his expertise. His advice, which costed us nothing, ensured that we got the best price possible in the quickest time. First he advised us on what to do to ensure a good presentation and helped get us experts for this where needed without wasting money. Then he interviewed three potential agents with us which ensured that we got the right company and person to do the job. At the first open he acted on our behalf to work with the agent to get an excellent price. Throughout, he kepy our interests as his top priority and he kept in regular contact to reduce stress. He also worked with the agent to ensure that the timing of our launch and open inspections were ideal for the community and likely purchasers. He also negotiated for us to get an excellent commission and cut-price campaign.No doubt that having an expert guide and advise us was of huge benefit.

Engaging Peter from Street Advocate Vendor Advocacy was the best decision I made in the process of selling my house. At all times, Peter understood the stress of the selling process. And it was Peter's qualities - his knowledge and experience of the real estate industry, his thoroughness, hard work, empathy and unbelievable attention to detail, and his dealing with the real estate agents that in fact reduced that stress. And most importantly, he maximized the sale price of my home (with an amazing result that was beyond my wildest dreams), in circumstances where I had not been able to sell the house a few years earlier with a reputable agency. I would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone who wants a great price for their home and a manageable selling process.

Peter chose the right agent, negotiated great terms, managed and advised me throughout the sale process without my having to speak to the agent. He also helped develop the marketing strategy and how best to present the house, resulting in much buyer interest, a great number of inspections and an auction result that exceeded our expectations.

Peter came highly recommended to us and from our initial meeting, we knew we were in very capable hands with Peter. Having never sold a house before, Peter was able to walk us through all the stages of selling our house, as well as keeping in close contact throughout the entire process, which was greatly appreciated by us.Peter provides a large number of value adds with his service including, but not limited too:* Property Stylist to help you stage your house in the best possible way.* Interviewing local real estate agents to make sure you're getting the best agent for the job* Suggesting or organising trades people to work on your house if need be (Peter really helped us out of a tight spot with a window cleaner on short notice after our window cleaner cancelled at the last minute)* Ensuring you have the best strategy in place to maximise your sale price.Overall, we highly recommend Peter and believe you won't regret letting Peter help you with selling your house.

I engaged Peter Sarmas of Street Advocate to find the best and most appropriate agent to sell a derelict house in Hawthorn for a deceased estate. I then engaged Peter's services to sell our family home in Burwood. I found Peter to be a well-informed, experienced strategic thinker who was always willing to listen and discuss all aspects of the sale process. As the two properties sales were different, Peter was excellent in choosing the selling agent and both results well exceeded expectations. I would use his services again. Andrew

We have used Peter on 3 occasions now. We have found him to be a strong advocate, he has tailored a specific strategy to the circumstances of each sale and we have achieved a better-than-expected result each time. He doesn't charge (his fee comes from the agent). We have always felt overwhelmed when dealing with real estate agents directly, uncertain about whether our interests are at foremost in all considerations. Peter alleviated all these concerns- we had full confidence that our interests were being met at all times. Thanks Peter.

Peter’s professionalism and personable approach made the process of selling our house so much easier.His knowledge of the real estate industry shines through as does his focus on success. He has a wonderful team of tradespeople who knew to make our property a priority despite their busy schedules. Peter was particular about selecting the right agent and worked closely with him during the selling process.It was wonderful to have Peter ‘on our side’ and to know that he was working tirelessly with the agent to create buyer interest in our property. Peter is a great communicator - he listened to our concerns and always kept us informed. His drive and determination showed in the wonderful result we achieved.Thank you Peter we couldn’t have managed without you.
